Imagine Having the Courage You Need to do Whatever You Want to Make Your Dreams a Reality...
Welcome to Four Steps To Creating Unstoppable Courage.
Im incredibly excited that you have chosen to join me on this journey. Through this eBook, youre going to learn how to generate the power and courage necessary to go after what you really want in your life.
Lets face it: Creation, movement and expansion all require courage.
We all have a well-established comfort zone, and when we come to the edge of it, we start to get uncomfortable, nervous, and possibly even a little anxious.
If we lean into that edge a little further, we start to get downright scared.
What happens if you keep leaning? If you forge ahead without concern for these warning signs, you risk meeting with terror or panic, and then youre stuck.
As you begin to reach your own individual edge, it is imperative that you challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone. It is just as important, however, that you take care of yourself by leaning into that edge only as far as you must to ensure that you continue to grow and move toward your goals. This takes courage.
Thats what this training is all about: helping you create a sense of unstoppable courage so that you can remain unhindered by your fears; plowing through your self-doubt in order to go after what you really want.
Take a moment to consider what you would be doing in your life right now if you werent afraid of anything ... if you had more courage.
Would your life be different? Would you feel more comfortable approaching people? How would you approach people differently? How would you move in your body? How would you carry yourself? What might you create or pursue in the world? Who might you pursue?
Perhaps you would finally introduce yourself to that one woman youve been thinking about for months. Perhaps you would speak up in meetings at work. Perhaps you would speak to people in positions of seniority more confidently? Perhaps you would leave your current position and create your own business.
Its the most important question you can ask: What would you do if you had more courage?
This question is of utmost importance, because theres no point in generating a whole bunch of courage if you have no idea what youre going to do with it. You must create a clear objective so that you dont question yourself as you being to challenge your comfort zone. What would you do if you had more courage?
Sometimes when I ask this question, a client will get spooked by the answer: Well, Id just march in there and ask her out. Oh, my God. I cant do that. Oh, Jesus. Its like were scared of our own power. If the same thing is happening to you, thats okay.
Gladiators felt fear. Everyone feels fear. Fear is a part of life.
The trick is to take action in the face of that fear, and thats a skill; it is something that you can develop. Courage is like a muscle: If you practice little acts of courage daily, youll be amazed at the power you begin to develop.
So, what is courage in the first place? Our common understanding of courage involves doing something even though youre scared of it. There is a misconception, however, in which people think that courage is the absence of fear. Wrong.
We think of bravery, and our minds call up images of a soldier fearlessly charging past enemy lines and saving the day. I think that in our day to day life, courage is not really about these dramatic gestures. In the real world, having courage is about fighting for what you want even though you feel fear. Its not about eliminating fear. Everyone feels fear. The person who runs across enemy lines is scared out of his mind.
Viewing a courageous person from the outside, other people might imagine that he or she is amazing or special in some way ... that he or she must have had a better upbringing or been born with better genes. As youll come to discover, the secret about courage is that its actually something you can develop regardless of your upbringing and regardless of your circumstances.
You can choose right now to create courage within yourself. All it takes is the dedication required to apply the practices that follow on a daily basis. When combined with a strong enough why (which well cover in the chapters that follow), there will be no end to the amount of courage you will be able to generate.
You can think of it like a battery: As you charge your courage battery, you will gain additional power to go after what you want in the world. The more you do that, the better you will feel, the more you will enjoy your life, and the more freedom you will have ... and who doesnt want more freedom?
If you look at the root of the word courage, it is derived from the Latin cor, meaning heart. In its earliest French origins, courage was used to reference ones innermost feelings and temperament; the solidarity existing in ones heart.
This etymology suggests a definition vastly different from one that assumes an absence of fear.
Courageousness involves being able to tune it to whats in your heart and move toward it in spite of your fears.
In examining these four steps, were going to go on a little journey. By the end of it, you will have a road map outlining the path to creating unstoppable courage for the rest of your life. In addition, we will cover a few exercises meant to jump-start the feeling of courage in your body so that you can create it anytime you need it.
This is a journey that we must take together, however. If youre reading passively while youre watching TV or otherwise zoning out and telling yourself that youll just try the exercises later, then youre not going to get to where you want to go. This is a practice, and it requires that you step up and take action.
If youre ready to play full out, make distinctions, and apply this work to your life, then its time to get started. What are the four ways to create unstoppable courage?
You must begin this journey by finding a new way to treat fear. You have to change your relationship with fear. The best way to do that is to follow through with it. This means that you must look fear in the face and stand up to it.
Recall what you said you would do if you had more courage. Imagine that youre doing that thing right now. Has the fear started creeping up? Usually thats because theres something that we dont want to have happen; we automatically imagine a bad outcome.
